POPSStinging Talk about Obama? Never Mind Now Doris Kearns Goodwin, the presidential historian, said she was hard-pressed to find a similar moment in history when the tone had changed so drastically, and so quickly, among so many people of such prominence. “I don’t think that’s happened very often,” Ms. Goodwin said. “The best answer I can give you is they don’t want to be on the wrong side of history, and they recognize how the country saw this election, and how people feel that they’re living in a time of great historic moment.”

POPSGod bless America. Now get back to work. "I am not impressed. This is perhaps because I, one incomprehensibly powerful businessman among dozens, have made no promises to improve your lot in life, enrich your children, or make the world a better place. Nor have I had to do so to acquire power undreamed of by the most avaricious and grasping politico"

POPSOde to Autumn (John Keats) Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,— While barrèd clouds bloom the soft-dying day 25 And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river-sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; 30 Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies. Guess I'm missing . . well, seasons!

POPSIf McCain were best person to lead country now We've Had Two Victories in Iraq (0.00 / 0) "Mission Accomplished" Apparently not enough to bring the troops home! "The Surge Worked" And still not enough to bring the troops home, but instead have more serving in theater than before 'the surge'! What's the next catch phrase??

POPSThe Palins' un-American activities What is it that allows Sarah Palin to accuse Obama of "palling around with terrorists" while she does it herself? How can any right-minded person think this woman is Vice-Presidential material? Imagine the uproar if Michelle Obama was revealed to have joined a black nationalist party whose founder preached armed secession from the United States and who enlisted the government of Iran in his cause? The Obama campaign would probably not have survived such an explosive revelation. Particularly if Barack Obama himself was videotaped giving the anti-American secessionists his wholehearted support just months ago.

POPSPalin is a Hypocrite - Shock, Dismay Well, well, well Governor, what have we here? Ooops, I forgot, right wing radical anti-americans are really pro-american, its only left wing anti-americans that are bad. And of course recent anti-american activity is much more forgiveable than thirty year old anti-american activity to which you admit and for which you turned yourself in.

POPSPalin's Alternate Universe “Say it ain’t so, Joe! There you go pointing backwards again ... Now, doggone it, let’s look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future. You mentioned education, and I’m glad you did. I know education you are passionate about with your wife being a teacher for 30 years, and God bless her. Her reward is in heaven, right? Aw-shucks, darn-right, I’m-just-a-hockey-mom governor of Alaska mouthing something completely devoid of meaning? If Governor Palin didn’t like a question, or didn’t know the answer, she responded as though some other question had been asked. She made no bones about this, saying early in the debate: “I may not answer the questions the way that either the moderator or you want to hear.”

POPSThe Right-Wing Solution Same-sex unions haven't undermined or destroyed the economy or the noble institution of marriage--it's straight people breaking their marriage vows. And I defy anyone to name one straight marriage that was broken up because of all those gay unions performed. So why have these homophobes failed to turn more Americans against gays? Because the truth is, deep down, most Americans are fair and tolerant people. This hate speech will eventually fail just like every other attempt at lasting discrimination in this country has eventually failed because--bottom line--when confronted with the basic choice of equality or inequality, the vast majority of Americans will choose equality. God Bless them.

POPSDancing At The Bar I'll never forget the first time I went to a gay bar with my straight friends. Bless their hearts; they loved me so much that they wanted to take me there and they knew I didn't have the guts to go alone. Such good intentions. So, it was a mixed club scene with gays and lesbians and of course the curious straight crowd. What struck me was the feeling I had when I walked through the door. It was a homecoming of sorts for me and of course I kept that to myself. I frantically looked around and wanted to see if anyone noticed my reaction, but my friends were all too busy making fun of the queers in there. They leaned over to me and said "You aren't a freak like all these people debby; you aren't!" Somehow they thought that was a compliment. But I was exactly like everyone else in that bar on the inside and when they were making fun of others, they were making fun of me too.
